[] BEFORE USING

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:

• Moving the sat To prevent short circuits or damaged wires in the

connection cords, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the connection cords between all other

audio components when moving the set

• Before turning the power operation switch on

Check once again that all connections are proper and that there are not p_oblems with the connection cords Always set the power operation switch to the

standby position before connecting and disconnecting

connection cords

• Store this instructions in a sate place. Atter reading, store this instructions along with the warranty in a safe place¸

• Note that the illustrations in this instructions may differ from the actual set for explanation purposes,

• V, AUX forminal The AVR-1603's front

panel is equipped with a

V AUX terminal¸ Remove the cap covering the

terminal when you want to use it

[] CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this unit or any other electronic equipment using microprocessors is used near a tuner or TV If this happens, take the following steps:

• Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or TV

• Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this unit's power cord and input/output connection

cords

• Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor antennas or 300 _/ohms feeder wires

We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75 £3/ohms coaxial cables,

For heat dispersal, leave at least 10 cm of space between the top, back and sides of this unit and the

wall or other components.

r_ CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

• Switching the input function when input jacks are

not connected

A clicking noise may be ploduced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to the input iacks If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect components to the input iacks

• Muting of PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and

SPEAKER terminals

The PRE OUT iack, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit Because of this, the output signals are greatly

[] FEATURES

1. Dolby Pro Logic II decoder

Dolby Pro Logic [I is a new format for playing mulfichannel audio signals that offers _mprovements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic¸ It can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround but also regular stereo sources into five channels {front left/right, center and surround left/right} In addition, vanous parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so you can adiust the sound field with greater precision¸

2. Dolby Digital decoder

Dolby Digital, a digital discrete system in which the different channels are completely independent,

recreates "three-dimensional" sound fields (sounds with a sense of distance, movement and position)

with no crosstalk between channels for greater reality¸ In addition, the 5 channels (excluding the 01 channel for low frequency effects) have a playback range extending to 20 kHz, the same as the range of CDs, thus resulting in clearer, more richly expressive sound¸

3. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) decoder

DTS provides up to 51 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround sound, from sources such as laser disc, DVD and specially-encoded music discs¸

10 cm or mo_e

reduced for several seconds after the power operation switch is turned on or inpot function, surround mode or any other set-up is changed If the volume isturned up during this time, the output will be very high after the muting circuit stops functioning Always wait until the muting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume

• Whenever the power operation switch is in the JilL OFF or STANDBY state, the apparatus is still

connected on some AC line voltages. Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for, say, a vacation.

4. High performance DSP simulates 7 sound fields

Playback is possible in 7 sunound modes: 5-channel Stereo, Mono Movie, Rock Arena, Jazz Club, Video Game, Matrix and Virtual You can en}oy a variety of

sound effects for different movie scenes and program sources even with stereo sources not in

Dolby Surround

5. Personal Memory Plus function

Personal Memory Plus is an advanced version of Personal Memory With Personal Memory Plus, the set automatically memorizes the surround mode, channel volume, surround parameters, etc, for each of the separate input sources

6. Remote control unit with pre-memory function This unit comes with a remote control unit equipped with a pre-memon/ function The remote control

command codes for DENON remote controllable AV components as well as for LD players, video decks,

TVs, etc, of other major manufacturers are prestored in the memory

7. EXT. IN jack This unit is equipped with EXT IN jacks for use with

audio fomlats of the future

• This unit is equipped with a high-speed protection circuit The purpose of this circuit is to protect the speakers under circumstances such as when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently shot[- circuited and a large current flows, when the temperature surrounding the unit becomes unusually high, or when the unit is used at high output over a long period which results in an extreme temperature rise When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off and the power supply indicator LED flashes Should this occur, please follow these steps: be sure to switch off the power of this unit, check whether there are any faults with the wiring of the speaker cables or input cables, and wait for

the unit to cool down if it is very hot Improve the ventilation condition around the unit and switch the

power back on If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the ventilation around the unit, switch off the power and contact a DENON service center

• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance (for example speakers with an impedance of lower than 4 _2/ohms) are connected If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off

Turn off the set's power, wait for the set to cool down, improve the ventilation around the set, then turn the power back on

NOTES:

-- Assignment of low frequency signal range --

• The only signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS signals) and the low frequency signal lunge of channels set to "SMALL" in the setup menu The low

frequency signal range of channels set to "LARGE" are produced from those channels

-- Crossover Frequency --

• When "Subwoofer" is set to "Yes" at the "Speaker Configuration Setting", set the frequency (Hz) below which the bass sound of the various speakers is to be output from the subwoofer (the crossover frequency)

• For speakers aet to "Small", sound with a frequency below the crossover frequency is cut, and the cut bass sound is output from the subwoofer instead NOTE: For ordinary speaker systems, we recommend setting the crossover frequency to 80 Hz When

using small speakers, however, setting the crossover frequency to high frequency may improve frequency response for frequencies near the crossover frequency

-- Subwoofer mode --

• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when "LARGE" is set for the front speakers and "YES" is set for the subwoofer in the "Speaker Configuration" settings {see page I0) If "SMALL" is set for the front speakers or "NO" is set for the subwoofer, the subwoofer mode setting does not affect playback of low frequency signal range

• When the "+MAIN" playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to "LARGE" are produced simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer channel In this playback mode, the low frequency _ange expand more uniformly through the _oom, but depending on the size and shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range

• When the "NORM" playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to "LARGE" are only produced flora those channels In this playback mode there tends to be little interference of the low frequency range in the room

• Try playing the music or movie source and select the playback mode providing the stronger low frequency range sound

NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one

channel (left or right), so input signals to both channels If you have a source component with only one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc) obtain a "Y" adaptor cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and Rinputs

NOTE:

DIRECT, STEREO and 5CH STEREO mode can be used when playing PCM signals with a sampling

(2} Using diffusion type speakers for the surround speakers

For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar types, provide a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating speaker (monopohr)

Place these speakers at either side of the prime listening position, mounted above ear level

The AVRq 603 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the same sense of presence as in a movie theater

Dolby Surround (1) Dolby Digital (Dolby Surround AC-3)

Dolby Digital is the muki-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories Dolby Diggal consists of up to "51 " channels - front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and an addgional channel exclusively reserved for additional deep bass sound effects {the Low Frequency Effects - LFE - channel, also called the "1 " channel, containing bass frequencies of up to 120 Hz) Unlike the analog Dolby Pro Logic format, Dolby Digital's main channels can all contain full range sound information, from the lowest bass, up to the highest frequencies - 22 kHz The signals within each channel are distinct from the others, allowing pinpoint sound imaging, and Dolby Digital offers tremendous dynamic range from the most powerFul sound effects to the quietest, softest sounds, free from noise and distortion

• Set the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush wgh the TV or monitor screen as possible

Set the center speaker between the front left and right speakers and no further from the listening

position than the front speakers

• Consult the owner's manual for your subwoofer for advice on placing the subwoofer within the

listening room

• If the surround speakers are direct-radiating

(monopohr) then place them slightly behind and at

an angle to the listening position and parallel to the walls at a position 60 to 90 centimeters {2 to 3 feet)

above ear level at the prime listening position

• Set the surround speakers directly at the sides of the listening position and 60 to 90 centimeters {2 to 3feet) above ear level

• Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency band was limited, Dolby Pro Logic _] offers a wider band range (20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) In addition, the surround

channels were monaural (the surround left and right channels were the same) with previous Dolby Pro Logic, but Dolby Pro Logic _]they are played as stereo signals

• Various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so it is possible to achieve optimum decoding (see page 18)

Sources recorded in Dolby Surround

These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of

signals using Dolby Surround encoding technology Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and video cassettes to be played on stereo VCRs, as well as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic makes it possible to achieve multi-channel surround playback The signals can also be played on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide

normal stereo sound

There are two types of DVD Dolby surround recording signals _ 2-channel PCM stereo signals _2) 2-channel Dolby Digital signals

When either of these signals is input to the AVR-1603, the surround mode is automatically set to Dolby

Pro Logic II when the "DQLBY/DTS SURROUND" mode is selected

• Sources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the logo mark shown below. [] TROUBLESHOOTING

111_ _ I[._ I

Digital Theater Surround {also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater

Systems¸ DTS offers the same "51 " playback channels as Dolby Digital {front left, front bght and center, surround left and

surround right) as well as the stereo 2-channel mode¸ The signals for the d_fferent channels are fully independent, eliminating the risk of deterioration of sound quality due to intederence between signals, erosstalk, etc

DTS features a relatively higher bit rate as compared to Dolby Digital (1234 kbps for CDs and LDs, 1536 kbps for DVDs) so it operates with a relatively low compression rate¸ Because of this the amount of data is great, and when

DTS playback is used in movie theaters, a separate CD-RQM synchronized with the film is played¸ With LDs and DVDs, there is of course no need for an extra disc; the pictures and sound can be recorded simultaneously

on the same disc, so the discs can be handled in the same way as discs with other formats¸ There are also music CDs recorded in DTS These CDs include 5 f-channel surround signals (compared to two

channels on current CDs) They do not include picture data, but they offer surround playback on CD players that are equipped with digital outputs (PCM type digital output requged)

DTS surround track playback offers the same intdcate, grand sound as in a movie theater, right in your own listening room¸

• DTS compatible media and playback methods Marks indicating DTS compatibility: _ and

The following are general examples¸ Also refer to the player's operating instructions¸

Media DTS Digital output jacks Playback method {reference page)

Optical or coaxial digita_ output Set the input mode to "AUTO" or "DTS" (page 16)

Optical or coaxial digita_ output

1 DTS signals are recorded in the same way on CDs and LDs as PCM signals Because of this, the un-

decoded DTS signals are output as random "hissy" noise from the CD or LD player's analog outputs If this no_se is played with the amplifier set at a very high volume, it may possibly cause damage to the speakers To avoid this, be sure to switch the input mode to "AUTO" or "DTS" before playing CDs or LDs recorded in DTS Also, never switch the input mode to "ANALOG" or "PCM" dubng playback The same holds true when playing CDs or LDs on a DVD player or LD/DVD compatible player For DVDs, the DTS signals are recorded in a special way so this problem does not occur

2 The signals provided at the digital outputs of a CD or LD player may undergo some sort of internal signal

processing (output level adiustment, sampling frequency conversion, etc} hi this case the DTS-encoded signals may be processed erroneously, in which case they cannot be decoded by the AVR-1603, or may only produce noise Before playing DTS signals for the first time, turn down the master volume to a low level, start playing the DTS disc, then check whether the DTS indicator on the AVR-1603 (see page 19) lights before turning up the master volume

3 A DVD player with DTS-compatible digital output is required to play DTS DVDs A DTS Digital Output logo

is featured on the front panel of compatible DVD players Recent DENON DVD player models feature DTS- compatible digital output - consult the player's owner's manual for information on configuring the digital output for DTS playback of DTS-encoded DVDs
